Everyone has the heart of an artist, when we were younger, many of us
wanted to be painters, sculptors, dancers and singers but not everyone is able
to fulfill their life-long dream due to
practical reasons.
A lot of individuals, had to give up their own ambitions to support
their families, a lot of people had to sacrifice what they wanted out of life-
in order to fulfill their parents’ wishes.

The current economy that we have right now is not forgiving, many individuals
are forced to take jobs that they do not feel they belong to, and many still
have the longing in their heart to continue what they love to do.
We need to buy locally made products by Philippine artists, in order to
shift this type of market economy.
To purchase handmade products by artists who continue to dream and take
on the challenge says a lot about what we want for the future.
#1. Purchase local made products in order to contribute to establishing
a new economic model
Instead of purchasing gift and items that are mass produced, we can
support Philippine artists who continue fighting for their craft.
We can bring a spark, a positive statement for artists to continue- in
every product that we purchase—we are supporting creativity.
#2. Crafts people have a higher
tendency of using recycled materials.
By using handmade crafts you can
effectively reduce pollution and contribute your energy into transforming your
local community into a better place.
#3, Philippine artists enjoy creating their crafts, there is thought and
energy put into it, and it is a form of meditation for them, unlike the
products that are mass produced from factories.
The materials that artists
produce contain positive energy and by purchasing them, you invite good energy
into your home.

4. Support creativity- if you want to change the world you have to put
your financial resources and direct them to causes that you believe in.
Philippine artists need encouragement, by purchasing their craft you
tell them that their work has value, and that they are contributing something
positive to this world.
5. The value
of handmade and locally made products by Philippine artists is definitely worth
more than the mass produced items.

Even, if they
will cost more, it is definitely worth every penny, the item has been made with
love, care and attention, and this is what the receiver of your gift will see
once they get to have the item as a present coming from you.
#6 You are making
a personal connection with the artist who has created it, you get the chance to
spread the ideas of the artist who wants to share something to the world.
By purchasing the
locally produced items, you empower Philippine artists and you help pave the
way for creative and sustainable means for everyone.
Artists all
over the world, help us get inspired. For who are we without new ideas,
imagination, new songs, new dreams.
By giving
respect to locally made materials and products by local artists-we are slowly
but effectively changing how artists are viewed.
And lastly
#7 Support the dream that is inside you—each
of us have always wanted to express ourselves—while not everyone can continue
in this life journey of creativity—we can help live it- through the work of our
fellow artists.
